The New Mexico Legislature convened on March 8, 2025, for a session marked by announcements and light-hearted exchanges among representatives. The meeting began with a motion to transition to announcements, which was approved without objection.

Representative Patricia Borrego from Bernalillo took the opportunity to clarify a previous announcement, stating that International Women's Day is indeed celebrated today, not yesterday as she had mistakenly indicated. She extended warm wishes to all women present in the chamber, emphasizing the importance of recognizing women's contributions every day.

The session also included updates from various committees. Representative Christine Thompson announced that the House Health and Human Services Committee would meet at 8:30 AM on Monday, while Representative Rosam Romero shared that the House Education Committee would convene at the same time in a different room.

In a lighter moment, Representative Hernandez congratulated the Shiprock girls' basketball team for their commendable performance, despite not advancing in the tournament. He also recognized the Portales girls for their success, adding a touch of community spirit to the proceedings.

The meeting concluded with a humorous interjection from Representative Duncan, who entertained the chamber with a dinosaur joke, prompting laughter among his colleagues.

Before adjourning, the Speaker announced the remanding of House Bill 78 back to the House Judiciary Committee for necessary amendments. The session wrapped up with a motion to recess until 10:30 AM on Monday, allowing representatives to enjoy their Sunday.
